Jeeez John, you're making me feel bad. I'm running a K5 AMD 350MHz
right now! 128 Megs of ram helps. It's nowhere near as fast as the
newest stuff... but it does what I want it to do. And, it was plenty
cheap, and no probs installing Fedora 4, in text mode. I am not using
it as a server though, just as a client machine, etherneted to a
router connected to a DSL modem. Damn, this is just like an AA
meeting where I bare my deepest secrets "My name is Ric, and I'm
really cheap and run really old hardware." <sobs> I get alot of
group hugs this way. <g> Ric

I'm really cheap too! My last AMD Athlon CPU + motherboard cost $89.00
at Frys. The rest of the box came from computer junk stores (luckily I
live near Silicon Valley which has a great number of "computer
surplus" stores).
If you aren't near somwhere that has a lot of computer junk stores, I
highly recommend <http://surpluscomputers.com>. I've bought a lot of
stuff from them without any problems.
